“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received this weekend! From the start, they were communicative, reliable, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. They treated my dog like family, provided updates, and made sure all of their needs were met. It was clear my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my pup!”

About: Senior dogs are my specialty. I understand that older pups may need a slower pace, extra patience, more frequent potty breaks, shorter walks, mobility accommodations, or simply someone who is happy to sit beside them and provide some company. Sometimes the best walk is a leisurely sniff around the block—and sometimes it’s a very dignified stroll to the mailbox. I’m here for both. What sets me apart is that I treat your dog like an individual, not a checklist. I pay attention to their personality, routine, comfort level, and those little quirks that make them them. I’m responsible, observant, dependable, and genuinely love animals. And if your senior pup prefers naps, snacks, and judging the neighbors from the window? I speak that language too. I am available Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and most weekends for a morning stroll, potty break, or simple snuggles. Safety and your comfort are my priority. Your home, their rules. 🐾 I offer dog walking and drop-in visits in your home, where your pup is most comfortable. I’ll follow your routines, instructions, feeding schedules, medications (if applicable), and all those very important household rules—yes, even the one about not letting them convince me they “haven’t been fed yet.” 😉 During visits, your dog gets plenty of attention, affection, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can see that your fur baby is happy, safe, and being appropriately spoiled. I do not provide boarding or pet care in my own home. My goal is to make things as easy and stress-free as possible for both you and your dog by caring for them right where they’re happiest: at home, in their own space, with their own stuff.

“The dogs were at first meeting defensive which is natural. Within minutes they relaxed and were comfortable with Tylyn. Nice pictures were taken everyday, the yard was cleaned up and she did a little extra watering. I was very comfortable with her dropping in for a total of nine days.”


“Khylei was amazing- my cats were very well taken care of, and my less shy cat even came out of hiding to say hello. I had so much peace of mind knowing that my cats were so well taken care of.”


About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs for 8 years and truly love spending time with pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, litter box care, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule and can work pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and other pet-care needs. I’m reliable with scheduling and will make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort and will follow their normal routines and your specific instructions. I’m respectful of your home, keep pets supervised, and provide a calm, clean, and loving environment. I’ll treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I would my own.

“Excellent and thoughtful service from Miss Halle!! We used Halle’s service to maintain the food and litter box for our 2 adult cats. Halle was careful, attentive, and provided detailed reports of her visits. Was always available for changes or special requests, although we didn’t have any. Definitely will contact Halle for our next request for a cat sitter!! Thanks Rover!!”

About: I have over eight years of dedicated hands-on experience, having cared for pets of all ages and backgrounds since I was 12 years old. Growing up surrounding myself with animals and pet care taught me how to read animal body language, build fast trust, and adapt to each animal's unique personality. My current schedule allows me to offer excellent flexibility and dedicated time for pet care. I work part-time at my church, which leaves me with plenty of open availability throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. Following Their Routine: I stick strictly to the daily schedule you set for feeding, exercise, play, and bedtime. Keeping their normal routine minimizes stress while you are away. Respecting Your Space: I treat your home with total respect, keeping common areas clean, securing doors and gates, and ensuring everything is left exactly as you left it. Constant Updates & Photos: You will receive regular check-ins, photos, and updates during every visit or overnight stay so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Very reliable and responsible. Clearly very knowledgeable about animals and would definitely have Katie back any time. She took the time to write out her visit summary and I loved the photos. Thanks!”


“Lindsay is fabulous! She took care of my little Lola as if she was her own. We will DEFINITELY be using her for pet sitting going forward. She is dependable and a great communicator!”

“Audriana was awesome again! She took great care of our dog, and went above and beyond by spending extra time with him and even picked up the house some during the check ins. Highly recommend!”

“We used this app for the first time and got so lucky to find Patti! She immediately made us feel at ease upon our first meeting and our dog loved her right away. She even was able to eventually pet our 12 year old cat who is a really big scaredy cat with new people. She was able to do exactly what we needed with our pets while we were away and we did not have to worry one bit. Loved all the pics and comments every day as well. Can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of our fur babies! ??”

“Emma is awesome ! For a first time user on this app , she made everything easy and had great communication the entire time . Emma definitely went above and beyond in caring for my black lab Lucy in which we look forward to booking with her again soon !”

About: I've taken care of my own pets as well ask friends and family's pets. They're part of the family and need to be treated as so. I recently moved back here. Looking for some fun and exploring with dog walking and owt sitting. I can be called last minute or scheduled out 6+ months. I have a fenced yard at my house. I will provide the top care for your animal in my home or your and follow your routines to the best of my ability
About: I am a person who considers myself to have a great emotional connection and affection towards them, I always enjoy their company, I love participating in activities related to them (such as walking, etc.) It is my daily life to connect with them and love them as my own family, for me they mean a lot in my life since I identify very well with them I take care of everyone as if they were my own and they will always be surrounded by lots of love, including playing with them and going for walks.
About: What sets me apart is that caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs my entire life, and being around animals has never felt like a job—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to earn their trust and make them feel safe and comfortable. Beyond my love for animals, I’ve spent nearly 30 years working in clients’ homes as a remodeling contractor, which has taught me the importance of reliability, respect, and treating every home with care. When you leave your pet with me, you’re choosing someone who will care for them with patience, kindness, and the same attention I’d give my own family. I’ve also cared for chickens and am comfortable with backyard flocks, so if you have feathered family members, they’re in good hands too. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide reliable, attentive pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and maintain your pet’s normal routine. When I’m caring for your pet, they have my full attention, and I’ll make sure they receive the exercise, affection, and care they deserve while keeping you updated with photos and messages. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll carefully follow your instructions to keep their routine as consistent as possible, including feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs. I’ll provide plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision, along with regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: To me, a dog is first and foremost a friend — and in my home, a treasured guest who gets to keep their own habits. My goal isn't to make them fit my routine, but to help them feel calm, happy, and at home. With over 10 years of caring for animals, this has always been about friendship and respect for me, never just "pet-sitting." Comfort and safety first. I create a comfortable, safe space built on what matters most: love, respect for personal boundaries, and genuine care. Your dog should feel protected and accepted from the very first moment. A little joy every day. Dogs love their walks, so if yours usually goes out once or twice a day, with me we'll head out more often. Playtime happens every single day, and there are plenty of cuddles and conversations along the way — dogs really feel that. Careful with food and health. Meals and medication stay right on schedule. Many dogs will only eat when someone sits with them, so I stay by their side at mealtimes to make sure they actually eat and feel supported. I'm happy to care for dogs with special needs and those who need medication. A home where they can relax. I don't burden dogs with unnecessary rules — furniture and favorite spots are all theirs, just like home. Your dog gets to feel free here, not like a guest on someone else's terms. What you can count on from me. Detailed photo and video updates twice a day, so you can relax knowing your companion is doing well. I work from home, which means your dog has company and supervision all day long. I live in a secure, gated community with enclosed grounds — a calm, safe place to stay. Your dog won't just be "boarded" here — they'll be a guest in a friend's home. My care for your pet goes far beyond simple supervision — I give them home comfort and my full attention, just like I do for my own pets. I work from home, so I'm around throughout the day: your pet is never left alone for long, and I easily fit into their usual routine — meals, walks, playtime, and rest all stay on their normal schedule. I keep my days flexible so your pet's needs always come first. I can either visit your pet regularly in your own home, or welcome them into my home for constant, attentive supervision. If your pet stays with me, they'll be my only guest — no other animals competing for attention, so all of it goes to your companion. My home is in a secure, gated community with enclosed grounds — a calm, safe place where pets settle in easily. Whether in your home or mine, I keep things clean, quiet, and stress-free, and I always respect each pet's personal boundaries and pace.
About: With over 13 years of experience caring for other people’s furbabies, plus a lifetime of my own dogs and cats, I bring genuine, hands on comfort to every visit. I’m confident administering oral medication, trimming nails, brushing coats, and walking dogs of any size or energy level, from a calm senior stroll to a fullon zoomie session. Whatever your pup needs, I’ll treat them like family. I work full-time during the week, so I’m available for evening visits after 5pm on weeknights, giving your pet consistent, reliable care even on busy days. Weekends open up more with time for longer visits, extra playtime, and one-on-one attention. Whenever I’m with your pet, I’m fully present and focused on them and their care and happiness. I provide all my care in clients’ homes so your pet stays in their familiar environment with their normal routine and comforts. Safety is a top priority on every visit, I make sure food and water are fresh, and follow your feeding and medication instructions exactly as given. I also treat your home with the same respect and care I’d want for my own: keeping it secure, respecting your privacy, and leaving everything just as I found it.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Citrus Heights
Khylei was wonderful with our cats and rats! She was quick to respond to messages, took excellent care of our critters, and even went above and beyond with cleaning up the messes they made while we were away. The daily updates and photos were so reassuring as well. We'll definitely be reaching out to her for our future pet sitting needs!

Tylyn was excellent! She was always on time and flexible when needed. She always sent me pics of my pup, and I could tell whenever I got home from work that my pup had a good day because she got to see Tylyn! Highly recommend considering her if you need a pet sitter!!!

I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received this weekend! From the start, they were communicative, reliable, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. They treated my dog like family, provided updates, and made sure all of their needs were met. It was clear my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my pup!

Mariah took care of our very timid cats while we were away for seven days. We scheduled her to come only once a day as the cats are very frightened of new people. She followed the written instructions and I was able to communicate with her any potential problems. We would absolutely book her again if we need cat care.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Citrus Heights stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
